When raising the boost on the car/modifying it from standard is it then possible to see a problem with the coil packs i.e hesitation when accelarating as i have no other ideas on what to check on this car as i have bought and fitted every-thing that is required when raising boost levels. Thanks for any advice

If the Coil packs are giving a weak spark, higher boost levels will blow out the spark.

Closing the spark pluh gap to 0.6mm may help.

I found this thread to be very useful.

well aps run an sti 7 on standard internals at 450bhp, so that must be massive boost.

I presume they dont change the coil packs, and they seem to work fine!

Bet they won't when the car is 6-8 years old though with 80k miles on the clock ;)

They might possibly have changed the packs before then, when they notice a coilpack related degradation in performance. :)
